Chapter 43 Killing the Western Xia Warriors
Chapter 43 Killing the Western Xia Warriors
"If you want to see the Dog-Beating Stick Technique and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, defeat us beggars first."
A gust of west wind blew in, and Elder Xu's voice came from inside.
Suddenly.
A series of coughs could be heard coming from inside.
Immediately afterwards, screams rang out.
"Oh no, the Tartars are causing trouble!"
"What's in your eye?"
"I can't open my eyes."
Lin Pingzhi knew he had been hit by the "Sad Breeze" spell, so he took out two masks from his pocket.
This is a gas mask he specially made after he learned medicine.
He handed one to Ke Zhen'e and said:
"Master Ke, the Tartars have poisoned us. Let's put on these masks."
Ke Zhen'e took it, remained silent for a moment, and then said:
"Young Master, the enemy numbers are large and their martial arts are highly skilled. We must be careful later."
Ke Zhen'e was focused on revenge at the time, so he followed Lin Pingzhi out.
Only now did I realize that the other side included one of the Four Evils and a group of warriors from the Western Xia First-Rank Hall.
Although the young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) was highly skilled in martial arts, the two of them were no match for him.
He then thought: A true man stands between heaven and earth, and wherever righteousness lies, he will do his utmost, even if it means death. At worst, I, a blind man, will die with the boy.
With that thought in mind, I put on the mask without hesitation.
"Master Ke, sit down!"
Lin Pingzhi gave the instructions, then spurred his horse and pulled on the reins.
The white horse understood its master's meaning, and with its four hooves flying, it galloped forward.
There were Western Xia warriors on guard around the apricot grove. When they saw the white horse galloping over, they all fired arrows.
Unexpectedly, the white horse was extremely fast. By the time more than ten wolf-tooth arrows arrived, the white horse had already galloped past, and the arrows fell one after another behind the two men.
Ke Zhen'e felt as if he were floating on clouds, with a whooshing sound in his ears.
Several hurried words in Tangut language came over, followed by the sudden sound of horns!
In the apricot grove.
The Western Xia warriors have poisoned the Beggars' Clan members and are currently binding them.
A Western Xia warrior, seeing that Wang Yuyan was beautiful, reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Duan Yu, standing beside him, was extremely anxious. He quickly extended his right index finger and activated the "Six Meridians Divine Sword," but to no avail.
At this time.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves was heard, and a white horse galloped in.
The white horse is tall and long-legged, with two people riding on it, both wearing masks so their faces cannot be seen.
A man in front of them was wearing a Shu brocade robe. Without any visible movement, a flash of sword light appeared, and a Western Xia warrior fell down. A small wound could be vaguely seen on the Western Xia warrior's throat.
Chi Chi Chi!
Several more soft sounds rang out, and three more Western Xia warriors fell.
Duan Yu then realized that the person in the Shu brocade robe had somehow acquired a long sword, the tip of which was still bleeding.
The Beggars' Sect members, Wang Yuyan, and the others were overjoyed to see someone make a move.
The sounds of Xixia language kept ringing out.
The Western Xia warrior who wanted to take liberties with Wang Yuyan was named Nurhai. At this moment, he disregarded her beauty and loudly proclaimed:
"Who are you, sir, daring to interfere in the affairs of the Western Xia First-Class Hall?"
Lin Pingzhi said coldly, "This is the territory of my Great Ming Dynasty, and we Ming people naturally have the right to govern it. When did it become the place for the Western Xia people to run wild here?"
The white horse galloped back and forth, and several more Western Xia warriors fell.
In the apricot grove, there were originally more than thirty Western Xia warriors, but in a short time, nine of them had fallen under Lin Pingzhi's sword.
A majestic voice in Xixia language rang out, seemingly signaling the firing of arrows.
The voice just fell.
Wolf-tooth arrows rained down upon them.
"what!"
Many disciples of the Beggars' Sect exclaimed in surprise.
They were all affected by the Sorrowful Breeze and were unable to move.
Lin Pingzhi was right in the middle of them, so even if the wolf-tooth arrows missed Lin Pingzhi, they would inevitably be affected.
Upon hearing the whistling of the arrow, Ke Zhen'e became extremely anxious. He felt a sudden lightness in his body, and the boy in front of him had vanished.
"Could this kid actually be planning to desert his post?"
"Am I, Ke Zhen'e, going to die here?"
Without time to think, he quickly wielded the Demon-Subduing Iron Staff in his hand with impenetrable speed.
A series of jingling sounds rang out.
His iron staff failed to touch a single wolf-tooth arrow.
"Um?"
Ke Zhen'e was stunned, not knowing what had happened.
Elder Xu, Bai Shijing, and the others were dumbfounded.
It turned out that when the Western Xia warriors' arrows came, Lin Pingzhi leaped up and circled the white horse, constantly changing his posture in mid-air.
He swung his longsword repeatedly, knocking down the wolf-tooth arrows one by one.
After the longsword struck down, it gently floated back onto the white horse's silver saddle. Ke Zhen'e was so astonished that he didn't even notice.
"Impressive skills!"
The storm erupted in cheers.
"Miss Wang, what kind of martial arts technique is this?"
Duan Yu was stunned. He had fantasized countless times about saving Wang Yuyan in this way.
Wang Yuyan frowned and said, "Judging from his lightness skill, it seems to be Tian Boguang's 'Reverse Stepping on Three Clouds,' but it's slightly different. His swordsmanship is too fast for me to see clearly."
Everyone thought to themselves: Tian Boguang is dead, this person could not possibly be Tian Boguang.
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out:
"Is the visitor Guo Jing, the great hero?"
"Guo Jing?"
Everyone was taken aback and looked at the speaker, a middle-aged woman holding a baby.
This person was none other than Ye Erniang.
She recognized the man wielding the demon-slaying iron staff as Ke Zhen'e, whom she had encountered before.
Given his close relationship with Ke Zhen'e and his exceptional martial arts skills, it's safe to assume that only Guo Jing could be the one to ask this question.
Upon hearing the name "Guo Jing," the members of the Beggars' Sect were overjoyed. If it really was the great hero Guo, then they would be saved.
However, one question remains: "Our Beggars' Sect has many connections with Master Guo, so why doesn't Master Guo publicly acknowledge his identity? That's right, the leader of these Western Xia warriors is none other than the Western Xia's General Who Conquers the East. Master Guo is currently guarding the border, so it's inconvenient for him to meet with the other party."
Lin Pingzhi said, "Ye Erniang has mistaken me for someone else. I have always admired Guo Jing, the great hero."
The implication is that he admits he is not Guo Jing.
The beggars felt the voice was somewhat familiar, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Azhu, standing to the side, wore a happy expression.
Ke Zhen'e recognized Ye Erniang's voice and angrily said:
"You wicked woman, hand over the child!"
Ye Erniang smiled and said, "Hero Ke, is this your child? I wonder which female knight you had it with?"
Ke Zhen'e angrily said, "Ye Erniang, this is Chen Da Niang's son from Chenjia Village. You stole someone else's son. I, Ke Zhen'e, will not let you off the hook."
Ye Erniang angrily said, "Blind Ke, I spared your life before because of Hero Guo, don't be ungrateful."
She thought to herself: Even if you, Guo Jing, are highly skilled in martial arts, do you think we, the Four Evils, are really afraid of you?
Ke Zhen'e snorted coldly: "Although I, Ke Zhen'e, am blind, I can still tell the difference. Ye Erniang, now that you've run into me, don't even think about leaving."
"Okay, okay!"
Enraged, Ye Erniang laughed and with a flick of her right hand, a poisoned needle shot towards Ke Zhen'e.
Lin Pingzhi swung his longsword and knocked the poisoned needle away.
Ye Erniang's heart skipped a beat: Even if this person is not Guo Jing, his martial arts are not weak. However, since three of my Four Evils are here today, I am not afraid of him.
Unwilling to engage in prolonged combat, Lin Pingzhi rescued Ke Zhen'e, then pulled on the reins and galloped ahead towards several Western Xia warriors.
The tip of the sword moved like a nimble snake.
In a short while, three more Western Xia warriors fell.
The horse turned its head and galloped to the side.
A flash of cold light, and another Western Xia warrior fell.
Upon seeing this, the leading Western Xia warrior shouted repeatedly, and the remaining Western Xia warriors immediately gathered together and surrounded him.
Lin Pingzhi simply jumped off his horse and rushed into the crowd, wielding his long sword swiftly in his right hand and clapping his left and right palms.
All that could be heard were screams, and the number of Western Xia warriors dwindled.
Upon seeing this, Nurhaci immediately shouted:
"I would greatly appreciate the assistance of the three experts!"
